Rain can cause your plans to change at a moments notice on the tropical islands of Hawaii. Luckily, there is still plenty to do no matter what happens with the weather.
If you are on Maui and looking to make the most of your day, be sure to check out these incredible spots!
Maui Ocean Center
Studying creatures that live in the water can sometimes be more fun when you stay dry. Located in West Maui, the Maui Ocean Center is one of the most popular rainy-day activities! The Ocean Center showcases more than 60 exhibits for guests to enjoy and learn from, especially with its 5 meter long walk-through tunnel!
This aquatic learning hub also has one of the largest collections of live Pacific corals in the world. A fun fact about the Maui Ocean Center is that every marine mammal at the center is naturally found in or around the Hawaiian Islands, and some of the viewable creatures are exclusive to the region of Hawaii.

If you are looking to escape the rain and do so in comfort, then look no further than Spa Grande at the Grand Wailea Resort in South Maui. With over 40 treatment rooms, this facility is regarded as Hawaii's largest spa.
Treatments you can experience at Spa Grande are massages, facials and body wraps, and guests can also indulge in the Grand Wailea Resort’s full-service salon and fitness center. With amenities as luxurious as the ones provided at Spa Grande, you’ll look forward to the next time it rains in Hawaii.
Baldwin Home Museum
This historic home that is now a beautiful museum is regarded as one of the oldest houses in Maui that is still standing. Located facing Front Street in Lahaina, the Baldwin Home Museum was built between 1834 and 1835 and was once home to Reverend Dwight Baldwin and his family, who were known for opening their doors to traveling captains and Hawaiian royalty.
The home was painstakingly restored and recreated using recorded details from the period and can be toured by visitors. Today, the museum features original photographs and artifacts as well as donated pieces and furniture from the 1850s, when it was built and busy with local life.
